\"German<\/a>
German cinema magazine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>German Magazine Cinema<\/a>, has published a pretty fascinating article all about the second Hobbit movie, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” dropping casual spoilers as if they are common knowledge. What is a little odd is that the magazine doesn’t make clear where it gets quotes from Peter Jackson or Evangeline Lily or Orlando Bloom and it sure doesn’t make clear where all the spoilerific plot information comes from. We can’t vouch for the accuracy of the quotes.<\/p>\n

Friends at thorinoakenshield.net<\/a> have a full online translation of the print publication and since we aren’t German speakers, we can’t say if anything is lost in translation, but it reads pretty clearly.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights but if you read beyond this point, expect full-on potential spoilers!<\/strong> (We can’t say if they are true or not, but the writer surely dishes the info matter-of-factly.)<\/p>\n

****Seriously, last chance, major potential spoilers!<\/strong>****<\/em><\/p>\n

“A greedy dragon, a rather testy skinchanger, a river ride full of action and the battle of the White Council against the Necromancer of Dol Guldur: Middle-earth fans should be prepared for something big; because with \u201cThe Hobbit \u2013 Desolation of Smaug\u201d (starting December 12th) Peter Jackson will (once again) show all he\u2019s got.”<\/p>\n

“A lot of the appendices will also be used in part 2.”<\/p>\n

“Hardcore fans will find the revelation of the Necromancer (Benedict Cumberbatch as CGI shadow) as witch master Sauron just in a couple of sentences in the book. And according to Tolkien the pale orc Azog doesn\u2019t survive the Battle of Azanulbizar (in the beginning of \u201cThe Hobbit \u2013 An Unexpected Journey\u201d), while Jackson definitively turns him into Thorin Oakenshield\u2019s arch enemy now. Orcs invading Esgaroth on the other hand was completely invented by Peter Jackson. Just like Tauriel \u2013 this young, only 300 years old elf which will add a bit of femininity to the male dominated story.”<\/p>\n

“This story needs estrogens\u201d, Evangeline Lilly jokes. And Peter Jackson adds: \u201cThanks to characters like Tauriel we will discover more about the life in Mirkwood, which is completely different from Rivendell.\u201d But the Silvan pointy-eared beauty is not supposed to be a mere copy of Arwen from the old trilogy. After all the people of the wood elves is a lot more dangerous and suspicious than Elrond and his companions. \u201cWe are like ninjas from the undergrowth.\u201d (Lilly)”<\/p>\n

“Peter Jackson not only uses additions like this to narrate a coherent chronicle of Middle-earth, he also uses them to sprinkle a little treat for spare time hobbits here and there. For example fanboys will anticipate the first encounter of Legolas and Gloin, father of grumpy dwarf Gimli from the \u201cRings\u201d films. Other than \u201cAn unexpected Journey\u201d the sequel is going to be distinctly darker though, stresses Jackson.<\/p>\n

“One climax of the new trilogy, which over 2000 actors and extras worked on, is the death of the dragon. Whether Smaug\u2019s fall will end part 2 however is yet unknown. Certain is that the Battle of the Five Armies will play the center role in \u201cThe Hobbit \u2013 There and Back Again\u201d.<\/p>\n
